FINDING HER: THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING FLIGHT

“May their souls rest in peace. They will always remain with us in our hearts” Said an elderly priest at the 3 year memorial of the crash of National Airline.

I walked near the memorial site, there were pictures of all the 200 passengers there. I went closer and stood near the picture of my wife Ana. I remember three years ago on this very day, I gave her a tight hug.

“Robbie don’t worry, it’s just a matter of five days and I will be back from my meeting” She said to me.

“I know it’s just five days. But just that I will miss you a lot, just want these five days to pass fast.” I said to her

“I am just going to Australia honey, we will skype the moment I reach” Ana said.

“But what about cooking, cleaning and other house work.” I joked with her.

“You are so stupid” She said pinching my hand.

“I will really miss you. Now go and come back soon” I said kissing her forehead.

I stood there as she walked away, I kept looking at her till she went out of my sight.

“Hey Robbie, I how are you?” Said a man to me as he tapped my shoulder.

“I am ok, still not able to digest the fact she is gone” I said as I wiped my tears.

“Was the same for me, I lost a close friend of mine in the same crash. It took me time but I realized I had to move on” He said

“I am glad you did” I said and tried to walk away.

“Robbie, I know you still believe that this crash was just a made up story. I really feel you should move on too by just digesting the fact” He said.

“At first they say the flight is gone missing, I had hopes my Ana will come back in to me five days. But in five days they declared that the flight crashed into the ocean. They have no solid proof, no bodies were found not even any part of the flight either.” I said in anger.

“All I am saying is that it’s been 3 years now and you have to move ahead” He said.

“Leave him alone, he has lost his mind. He sailed across the ocean twice looking for his wife” Said another man.

I ignored them and walked away. Yes, I did sail twice to the very place the flight had gone missing. Because I strongly believe there is something else to this story, I believe Ana is still out there and I will find her. What I saw in the ocean made me believe the fact even stronger that it was not a crash.

I took out my keys to open the door, I realized the door was already open. I slowly walked in looking around. I switched on the lights.

“Welcome home Robbie” Said a man sitting on the sofa.

“Who are you and how did you enter in?” I asked him.

“You sailed the ocean twice looking for proof, the first time with John the husband Sarah who was also dead in the same crash and the second time alone” He said.

“How do you know about all this? How do you know his wife’s name?” I asked him.

“You do have a lot of questions. I will answer them all but not here” He said

I suddenly was hit on my head from behind and things began to fade as I lost my conscience.

It was really cold, I looked around. I was in a small room with no windows, it looked more of a prison cell.

The door suddenly opened and the strange man who was in my house entered.

“Robbie, sorry about the way we got you here. I am Ralph investigator for the National Airline case. We are the UWS, united world security. Our location is a secret, just like most of our high profile cases.”

“Why did you get me here? Do you know something about my wife? Where is she now?” I asked in panic as I dint know what’s going on.

“We read various posts you have put online regarding this case. What exactly happened when you sailed in the ocean? What did you find?” Ralph asked me as he walked around.

“John had told me that there is this Island in the middle of the ocean which he had spotted once as he had sailed the route before me to. He said that the Island was not in any of the maps not even on the satellite maps. When we sailed together we were not able to spot the Island because of the bad foggy weather, so we had planned to sail again. But unluckily John met with a car accident and is no more.” I said.

“But you sailed on your own too. What did you spot?” He asked me.

“I did spot the Island. John was right. It was a small Island with red flags all round it” I said.

“Oh my god! Did you tell anyone about it? Like the local cops anyone?” Ralph asked

“No I dint, I dint know who to trust on this, if the Island can hidden on the map it’s hard to trust who all are involved in this” I said.

“Well, you did the right thing. This news should not spread” He said as he lit up his cigar.

“We need to make a quick move in this Ralf before it’s too late.” I said

Ralph walked close to me. I saw anger in his eyes as he walked closer to me. My heart began to beat faster. He caught me by my collar and pushed me towards the wall and kicked my stomach hard. I fell on the ground and looked up at him.

“UWS, United World Security is what we are and we are responsible for the safety of this world no matter what it takes us to do so. We provide weapons and arms to army to keep their countries safe.” Ralf said in anger.

“What did you do with national airlines?” I asked.

“Relax, that was just our deal with a terror group, they need about 200 people and a passenger flight and we gave it to them” He said it so lightly like he just gave a beggar some coins.

“So that how you protect the world?” I asked in anger.

“Haha yes we protect the world by providing them weapons to defend them self’s. They pay us for the weapons and we do business too. The terrorist group just demanded for 200 people to start a war and every war needs weapons. So you see it all comes to business.” He said and continued smoking.

At that moment I just wanted to run to Ralph, take out his gun from his belt and shoot him.

“Your friend John was close too, so that accident was also made up as you know we are really good in making up stuff. We got him here questioned him and ended him. We really thought you knew some more stuff and could be more dangerous for us, but you seem equal to John. Sadly we have already burned down you house and thrown a burned body there to fake your death already. So there is no going back for you too.” Ralf said with an evil smile.

“You will burn in hell, you and your UWS!!” I screamed in anger.

“Hahaha John said the same thing and I am sure Ana does feel the same too. Oh yes she is alive by the way, all the 200 passengers are” Ralf said as he walked towards the door trying to open it.

I was charged up in anger ready to attack him. The moment he opened the door I ran as fast as I could and pushed open the door throwing Ralph down. I jumped over him and punched his nose hard, I kept punching till I saw him bleed. I took out his gun from his belt and ran as fast as I could to find my way out. The guards began to fire at me. I didn't stop, I kept running as fast as I could. The fact that Ana and the other passengers are still alive gave me hope and strength to escape and then find them all.

I saw two guards protecting a door, I knew that was my way out. I ran closer to the door, the guards began to fire. I pointed my gun at a guard and shot him, the other guard shot my shoulder. I didn't want to stop running. I quickly shot the other guard on his head and opened the door. I was finally out. I kept running not knowing where to go. I ran till I felt like the guards had lost me. I rested on a rock, the whole place looked like a jungle. I couldn’t bare the pain of the bullet but I had to keep going. I looked around, there were red flags all around the coastal border. I was on the Island which John and I had spotted.

1 Month Later

John had a plan, he knew that if the people from the mysterious Island spot us they will surely come after us. Our plan was to get spotted, as trying to enter directly would be impossible.  But that was not possible the first time and the second time was a suicide mission as John was no more with me. I waited till I was sure they spotted me. I was sure they will get me on the Memorial Day and I was all set for it. Survival was something I was not sure about, I wanted to take a chance risking my life to find her, my wife Ana.

Yes, I did escape that Island and I am still out there somewhere getting more clues to find her. UWS is out there looking for Robbie, but Robbie was murdered by them that very night giving me a new identity.

Some mysteries of life are really strange. What we see and what it actually is are two completely different stories. The National Airlines mystery is one among those stories.

I don’t need a name to survive. I just need few more clues to expose UWS and find her, my wife Ana. When it comes to my name…well, I don’t need one. They can call me Anonymous.
